] Machinery Planned Maintenance System (MPMS) is a software application that efficiently monitors, manages, and plans the maintenance of each vessel. Proper maintenance of onboard machinery ensures smoother operation, better logistic control, and reduced breakdown costs. MPMS offers a cost-effective way to plan and schedule regular maintenance, outline correct work procedures, and maintain inventory for optimal store on board - which all helps maximize earnings for the ship owners.

Why MPMS?
Better allocation of resources: collecting data on spare parts and maintenance jobs has economic advantages in terms of inventory management and planning; the ship operator can allocate resource with greater efficiency when maintenance data is available for purchasing decisions and budget planning
Easier analysis: the system is risk and cost integrated: it checks equipment, activity, and personnel risks and quantifies the cost of these activities in financial calculations. This provides users with a powerful tool for analyzing and comparing operations
Minimize communication costs: updates are converted into XML files that are then zipped to make the file size very small (e.g. <8kb). This makes it possible to send files through low satellite bandwidths at much lower costs
Save time: automatic migration of updated data from the vessel into the central database saves time and reduces communication costs as no human intervention is needed
Ensure quality: having the NMM system on board is an essential part of the Quality Management System (QMS) as the whole process of maintaining a vessel is handled on a single, integrated platform. The application is also in compliance with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code
Better evaluations and estimation: all work histories are stored and easily retrieved. This data can be used for risk and performance evaluations, and will offer ship owners an increasingly accurate description of ship cost/maintenance structures
Based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): SOA helps organizations respond faster and more cost- effectively to changing market conditions as the SOA makes it possible to look at a problem holistically, e.g. by integrating all services in a purchase - such as Purchasing Department, Finance Department, and Store Admin - in one single process
